Okay so I have a lot of religious trauma and I'm sure that made me dislike this more than perhaps I would have but frankly? This is abelist AF. The way so many mental health issues are handled? Nope. One part of the ending felt predictable and the other completely unrealistic. Also the main character felt really flat and beyond irritating. The pacing was really odd to, so slow and then way too fast and without explaining why things went the way they did. 

Spoiler

If you are going to give me a cult you better give me a believable one, they don't just magically happen because the pastor is charming. That needed explaining far more, more fleshing out.

This book never hooked me. It reads like every Thriller I've read before with nothing to make it stand out. Also, I could have cared less for the documentary crew plot line which makes up the majority of the narrative. Looking up spoilers for the book solidified my decision. This book iust isn't worth the effort.
